first embodiment

[0023] In the present invention as shown in FIG. 2, the table top is supported by a leg frame assembly (4). An adjustable telescopic means (6) having one end pivotally mounted at the adjustable section (2) of the table top at a first mounting point (8), and the other end pivotally mounted to the lower part of the leg frame assembly (4) at a second mounting point (7) unto the leg means which is connected to the stationary section (1) of the sofa table, acting like an inclined strut supporting load from the adjustable section of the table top. The adjustable telescopic means (6) pivoting location on the adjustable section (2) of the table top is best at a proximity whereby the telescopic means (6) can provide the equilibrium support to the table top at any height, more than one of such means can be pivoted at equidistance to share the load if stronger support for the table top is required. The pivoting locations for both ends of the telescopic means (6) are critical because these will...

Abstract

A sofa table is height adjustable comprises horizontal table top with all or a portion that can be raised in an upward direction laterally using a height adjustable telescopic means. This capability will expand the use of the sofa table to serve the functions of an ordinary table that can be used for activities like writing or eating. The undercarriage includes an inclined adjustable telescopic means pivoted to the table top and the bottom of the leg frame assembly to enable sliding upwards and downwards movements. A controlling fixture is integrated into the adjustable telescopic means to lock the table top at the desired height level within its range of adjustment. A releasable angled lever is utilized to engage and disengage the locking mechanism is connected to the telescopic means. A press on the lever will disengage the locking mechanism and while holding down the lever and with a lifting force applied simultaneously on the table top will allow the table top to elevate to the desired height within its range of adjustment.
